STREEJ NAMING PROGRAM
By Charles V. Stanton
Rosehurg's city council has another "tougliie" on the
docket. It will hold a special meeting Monday night, start
ing at 7:30 o'clock, to hear a public discussion of a plan sub
mitted by a committee appointed to work out a program for
renaming city streets.
We suggest the council move its meeting to the armory.
If all the people we have heard cussing and discussing the
street renaming proposal attend the hearing, they certainly
cannot be accommodated in the city hall.
If this hearing follows the usual pattern the council
will listen only to objectors. Persons favoring systematic
street naming probably won't
be nearly as aggressive in their participation as opponents.
No person has a right to complain, one way or another, if
he fails to attend the hearing and "speak his piece." This is
a "town hall" meeting in the true American style and de
serves attendance from every person either opposed or
favorable to the proposal.
System of Addresses Needed
The special committee offering the proposal has worked
long and diligently. It has not had an easy task. Any in
dividual has a right to disagree with the committee's plans
or name selections, but everyone should be appreciative of
the time and effort given the civic project. Committee
members are entitled to public thanks and appreciation,
even from those who disagree with policies submitted.
No one will deny the need for some systematic method
or ascertaining addresses. We have duplicate street names.
We have no order in street titling. We have a particularly
hard problem because of offset and deadend streets.
As the City of Roseburg expanded throughout the years,
additions were made here and there. No governing body
undertook to ascertain that streets connected properly, that
uniform widths were maintained, or that provision was
made for future connections. Some of our additions, for
instance, were platted with a narrow strip of private owner
ship on three sides, so an abutting tract could not be opened
in competition. Only in recent years have we had any con
trol over the plats of subdivisions abutting or adjacent to
the city. The current mess is one requiring planning before
it can be corrected.
A stranger coming to Uoselnirg has an impossible task
in trying to reach any address without help.
Must Plan For Future
The council doubtless will hear much argument based
on sentimental appeal. Jt Is hard to give up the old names,
particularly those honoring respected citizens, when the
proposed new name is not nearly so pleasing, as, for in
stance, the projected change from Lilburn to Eel, Riverside
to Nyack or Alameda to Zip.
But you must consider that the Koseburg area is
growing rapidly and will continue to grow. That we must
bring some system and order into our street names. That
the confusion resulting from changes will not be long lasting.
The committee proposes to divide the community into
quadrants, with the hub at Cass and Jackson street. Names
would be fixed in an orderly alphabetical pattern, start
ing with names of one syllable, then going to two and three
syllable titles in proportion to distance.
Objection has been heard that some proposed names
lack dignity. We have no doubt but that the special com
mittee and the city council would welcome suggestions for
better sounding or more suitable names fitting the pattern.
We hope that Monday's hearing will be representative
and vigorous, but that it also will be constructive and cooperative.

'Well,
The more the Brownlces talked
about their trailer the more con
fused I became. Finally 1 said,
"Do I understand you have two
trailers?" They laughed,
"Three," said Mrs. Bownlee.
"A 20-foot one we leave in Texas
all the time, and use each winter.
The 27-foot one we leave at homa
on the farm. And this 16-foot one
we are using to make this trip
in, because it's handier and not
so much to pull."
Trailers had never appealed
very much to me until the Brown
Ices visited us. Of course 1 don't
expect we shall ever have three
trailers, but 1 surely do wish we
had one to use sometimes. Listen
ing to the Brownlces has that ef
fect, apparently, for our nephew
to whom trailer-tripping was a new
experience, declared he was goin
to have one as soon as ever he
gels back to Texas, and "go hunt
ing and fishing in it"!

says Mrs. Hrownlee. "Half an hour.
and my housework is done. And
you meet such interesting people
from everywhere. Some you may
never see again, and some be
come such good friends!"
Bean Picker Need
Urgent; One-Day
Stand Offered
Three bean yards of this area
will be open to all comers for a
one-day stand Sunday, announced
the Oregon State Employment of
fice manager George Foster.
These patches are desperately in
need of pickers, in order to get
ripened beans off the vines before
they become culls. This is neces
sary to preserve the crop through
Ihe regular picking season, which
will extend through August, it was
announced.
The patches where the demand
for pickers is acute are the II. B.
Uwight field, on the Big Bend
road, off Garden Valley road, one
fourth mile from the end of the
pavement: the Harry Winston
ranch at Winston, turn left at Ihe
first road south of the Winston
bridge, and the Ahner Rice ranch,
on Ihe first road lo the left across
the steel bridge smith of Dillard.
Transportation will leave the jun
ior high school at 7 a m. for all
persons so desiring. Those who
wish to drive may do so. Families
are urged to come and bring their
lunches and picking containers,
said Foster.

Mrs. Biownlee is a vivacious
lady, fun to have as a guest. So
is her husband fun. We felt ai if
we had been on a holiday, instead
of entertaining them, by the time
they left, heading for Yellowstone.
While here they re-routed the rest
of their trip as causually as I'd
change my mind about going to
town.
No, they never have any "trou
ble" on the road. They did have
to change ft wheel one night when
they were crossing the desert
but they had little electric "wink
ers" to set in the road to warn
approaching motorists.
They have been living In a
trailer now for seven years. To be
suro there is a room always wait
ing them in the big farm home
they gave to a yong married daugh
ter, but "we never use it. We
always use the trailer that is quite
near the house. Have every con
venience in it, and we can leave it
and go at an hour's time. We
usually go up to Minnesota or
somewhere in the summer. I
guess," laughed Mrs. Brawnier,
"you might say we 'visit home'!"
To hear her tell it, it sounded
wonderful.

Maintenance Costs Of
Rented Property Told
ROSEBURG As one who has
been in the business of renting
houses for 35 years, I would like to
say something about this rent con
trol business.
The life of the average house is
about 40 years.
The average cost is around $4,
200. A lot, close in, on pavement
will cost $2.0fl. With interest at 6
percent on investment for 40 years
or $14,880, the total invested cost
would be $21,080.
Now let's consider costs.
A new paint job every six years
at $150 would total in 40 years
$900.
A new roof every 13 years, at
$175, would amount during the life
of the house to $525.
Depreciation on house and ga
rage, based on 4 percent of $4,200,
would amount to $7,720.
Taxes at $49 a year would total
$1,960 in 40 years.
Insurance at $7.46 per year would
amount to $298.40.
Other maintenance at $25 per
year for 40 vears would total $1,000.
There should be included a sink
ing fund to rebuild the house and
garage at the end of 40 years, or
$4,200.
Not counting such things as mak
ing lawn, buying flowers, shrubs,
trees, lawn mowers, paying for
water for irrigaton, etc., mainte
nance over the 40-year period
amounts in all to $.17,583.40.
Now if this house were rented
10 months out of each year you
would get 10 times 40 or 400
months. Dividing $37,583 by 400
gives $93.95 or the amount you
would need to collect per month
in rental to come out even. Ex
cept for 6 percent on investment,
nothing would be allowed for your
work.

School Budgets Draw
Charge Of Extravagance
SUTHERLIN Some of the
school districts are noting that tax
money is not coming in as of other
years. Your paper nad a story of
tax delinquencies in Douglas coun
ty increasing 300 percent. Worse
is coming!
In North Douglas the average
farm pays a tax of $25 to $90 a
month to the county tax collector
besides gas tax, federal and ex
cise taxes.
The best method of judging val
ues in this picturesque but rather
thin land of hills and vales is the
carrying capacity measured in
sheep. On the average it takes two
or three acres for one ewe. be
sides feed in winter and some
times extra rations to finish the
lambs. The last two or three years
Ihe cash returns from a ewe have
averaged $10 to $12 per head gross.
Thus an owner of a place with a
carrying capacity of 100 ewes will
have a gross income of $1,000 to
$1,200. 1 find in North Douglas
most farms capable of carrying 100
sheep pay a county tax of about
$300 a year; 200 ewes $600, and so
on.
Now, take a ranch carrying 400
sheep. The county tax w ill be about
$1,000 a year, or almost always
SSW to $100 for each month. This
owner has to keep up his ier.ces,
his buildings and either buy or
raise winter feed and meet a score
oi other expenses.
Frankly, is it any wonder so few
crops are being raised in Douglas
county and the farm people are
working in the woods and saw
mills? Farm taxes in Douglas
county are to the point of confis
cation. The biggest villain in this
situation is the schools especially
the county rural school board,
which is the responsible board
for all schools outside Roseburg.
This spring the total tax levy
was increased for this big countv
district about $900,000, a big per
centage increase. No men 10 or
15 percent.

Proposed New Names
For Streets Disapproved
ROSEBURG I have been read
ing about the proposed renaming
of streets. I don't like the new
names and disapprove of them.
If I lived on Lilburn Ave., I surely
would rise up in arms to have
that good name changed to Eel.
Just think of it! The committee is
using very poor taste in selecting
names.
In most instances it would be
better to leave the names as they
are. If they want to change streets,
avenues, drives, lanes, places, etc.,
that is allright. If this committee
can't think o( appropriate names,
get a new committee. In North
Roseburg it might be permissible
to change the street names, but
i for pity's sake get names we can
live with.
